I don't really the like drug companies' representatives.
They all look good, smell good, don fancy if not flashy suits and charge at us with ear-to-ear grins reminding us to prescribe patients their products. Then from their suitcases pull out a couple of ballpoint pens to everyone of us, sometimes notepads and boxes of samples.
On alternate weeks, we have seminar with them in the meeting room. You prolly guessed correctly that they bring in statistics and the works to convince their medications are life-savers. And because these meetings take place during lunch time, they cater meals for us. Usually it's the kebab stuff, meatballs and the norm but this afternoon.. we had a bit of a gala show in the kitchen LOL
We were served traditional Hittite cuisine which is really Salt-Baked Chicken (Cantonese=Yim Kuk Kai) if you'd asked me! LOL But working under the Head Professor of the Internal Disease Department really does have its perks. He is the one who calls the shots so our department is priviledged, let's put it that way ;)
The back of the bigshot I told you about LOL
Let's all sing, "Happy Birthday to you.." ;P
I must say this EN pharmaceutical firm is very generous, we were all very impressed
The guy hammering the solid salt wrap with a chisel to get the chicken out
Hehehehee after the first few, his employee took over
I wasn't the only one snapping pictures! Look! Everyone's a jakun LOL
Funny thing is.. back in Cheras (where I used to live) our Pasar Malam sells it too
Salty, spicey-aromatic, chicken rice..
.. not too good-looking with skin all over the place but it tastes good :)

Ironically, they were trying to sell us drugs for Hypertension.
